Add a bit more strange to The Strange—or any game!

The Strange is filled with limited worlds seeded by fiction. Generating new stories, encounters, and ways to make an encounter strange is fun but can be a challenge. These cards help with that: Just draw a card whenever you feel like it—whether it’s while you’re preparing for your next session or right in the middle of one. There are three ideas on each of the 100 cards in this deck: a simple basis for a strange element, a more developed concept that builds on that basis, and a full-blown idea, complete and detailed. Build hundreds of encounters, adventures, or entire recursions—or simply call upon these colorful ideas to easily prompt strange flavors for your own creations.

PDF purchasers: To print your Strange Deck, set your double-sided printer to short-edge binding and print on a cardstock material. Then, with a sharp utility knife and straight edge, use the crop marks as guides to trim the cards apart. If you don’t have a double-sided printer, print the pages individually and then glue them back-to-back with a thin, even coat of adhesive. Before glueing, hold the back-to-back sheets up to a light source to ensure they are lining up correctly. The gutters between the cards give you a little bit of leeway if the two sides do not line up exactly.
